Five Palestinians, including two women, two men and a child, suffered bruises and contusions when Israeli settlers attacked residents of Umm al-Khair village in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron in the occupied West Bank, the Wafa news agency reported.

Anti-settlement activist Osama Makhamrehn told the agency that the settlers also hurled stones at a vehicle belonging to Imad Hawshiya, a resident of al-Markaz village, as he travelled along al-Zuweidin Road towards his home.

Settlers also attacked the home of a Palestinian family in Wadi al-Rakhim, south of the nearby town of Yatta, and vandalised their property, according to Wafa.
